How To Apply Mosaic to the Picture/Video on Mobile Phone

Since phones are part of our daily lives, you can have confidential information or photos and videos in them. Thus, taking screenshots can sometimes be challenging because they might appear everywhere. Or, you may have a video with a face you want blurred for privacy reasons.

You can also directly apply mosaic maker effects to Filmora’s mobile version. Here’s how:

Step 1: Create a New Project and Import the video or photo to which you want to add a mosaic.

Step 2: Find a Blur/Mosaic Sticker

Look for Sticker from the bottom toolbar, and search for a Blur or Mosaic sticker you want to use.

Step 3: Adjust the Placement of Stickers/Apply Tracking (for Videos)

You can now drag around the sticker to where you want the blur to appear.

For videos, use the Tracking function so it follows the object in the video even if it moves around. Just make sure to adjust the reticle properly.

Step 4: Drag the Sticker to the End of the Video

Grab the edge of the sticker in the timeline and drag it to the end of the video to ensure that it doesn’t go away.
